阅读理解之议论文
备战 2025 年中考英语新课标（核心素养）二轮复习之优秀
生拔高重难题型特训
【预测分析】
一、重难点分析
1、复杂论证结构与逻辑分析
难点：议论文常采用总分式、层进式或驳论法，需识别论点（首段/尾段）、论据（数据/案
例）及论证方式（因果/对比）。例如，段落间可能通过“however”“therefore”等逻辑词衔接，
需理清逻辑链。
高频陷阱：选项偷换概念（如将“reduce waste”改为“eliminate waste”）或过度推断（如将作
者态度“critical”误判为“opposed”）。
2、学术词汇与长难句理解
难点：高频学术词（如“carbon neutrality”“AI ethics”）及含定语从句、状语从句的复合句（如
“Although renewable energy is promoted, its implementation faces challenges”）需拆解主干。
干扰设计：选项利用词形相似词（如“affect/effect”）或反义替换制造混淆。
3、隐含观点与态度推断
难点：作者态度常通过情感词（如“remarkably beneficial”）或反问句（如“Is it ethical to...”）
间接表达，需结合论据反向推导。
文化背景：涉及中西文化对比（如环保政策差异）或社会热点（如碳中和），需积累相关术
语。
4、浙江本土化命题趋势
热点话题：可能结合浙江生态（如西湖保护）、科技（如杭州 AI 应用）或社会议题（如“千
万工程”乡村振兴），需掌握地域特色词汇（如“Zhejiang’s green transition”）。
二、解题步骤与技巧
1、速读定位主旨与结构
标题与首尾段：标题常直接点明论点（如“Why Zhejiang Embraces Green Energy”），首段提
出问题，尾段总结观点。
段落首句分析法：80%的段落首句为主题句，标注后串联逻辑链（如“论点 A→数据 B→结
论 C”）。
2、细节题精准定位
题干关键词法：专有名词（如“UN report”）、数字（如“30% reduction”）直接定位原文，避
免主观联想。
同义替换识别：选项可能改写原文（如“significant impact”→“profound effect”），需逐词比
对。
3、推理判断题逻辑链构建
因果链分析：关注“due to”“as a result”等词，理清论据与结论关系（如“数据 A→现象 B→作
者观点 C”）。
反推法：若原文反对某政策，选项可能反向表述为“criticize its implementation”。
4、词义猜测与干扰排除
上下文线索：如“sustainable development”后接“reducing waste”，可推测“sustainable”为“环保
的”。
绝对词排除：含“all”“never”的选项多为错误，议论文强调辩证性。
三、2025 年考向预测
1、命题趋势升级
本土化议题主导：
生态保护：如“千岛湖生态修复工程”“垃圾分类政策”，需掌握术语（如“ecological balance”
“zero-waste community”）。
科技创新：如“杭州亚运会智能场馆”“AI在农业中的应用”，需理解功能描述（如“automatically
adjust temperature”）。
多模态文本：可能结合图表（如浙江碳排放数据）与议论文，要求分析数据并论证观点。
2、高频题型分布
主旨归纳题（30%）：抓首尾段主题句或高频词（如“sustainability”“innovation”）。
推理判断题（40%）：隐含观点（如作者对“直播带货”的态度）、逻辑链推导。
词义猜测题（15%）：结合上下文推测学术词（如“cognitive development”）。
开放态度题（15%）：评价作者立场（如“是否支持在线教育”）。
3、热点话题预测
环保与可持续发展：如“浙江新能源推广”“塑料污染治理”，需匹配措施与效果（如“reduce
carbon emissions by 30%”）。
科技伦理：如“AI 在医疗诊断中的应用”，需分析利弊（如“提高效率但存在数据隐私风险”）。
文化传承：如“杭州丝绸文化的现代创新”，需结合传统与现代元素（如“digital printing
techniques”）。
四、备考建议
1、高频主题与词汇积累
分类整理模板：
主题 关键词 范文片段
"Adopting solar energy helps Zhejiang achieve 环保 Carbon neutrality, renewable energy
carbon neutrality by 2030."
"While AI improves efficiency, its ethical 科技 AI ethics, smart cities
dilemmas require strict regulations."
"The digital exhibition showcases Hangzhou's 文化 silk culture, heritage conservation
silk-making traditions."
2、真题模拟与策略优化
限时训练：每篇控制在 8-10 分钟，模拟考场节奏（前 2 分钟速读，后 6 分钟精析）。
浙江真题精练：重点练习 2024 年“AI 教育应用议论文”、2023 年“垃圾分类争议”，熟悉本土
命题风格。
3、长难句与逻辑专项突破
句子主干提取：划出主谓宾，忽略修饰成分（如定语从句），快速定位核心信息。
逻辑词标记：圈画 but/however/therefore，预判上下文关系。
4、文化背景拓展
本土知识积累：
浙 江 特 色 ： 千 岛 湖 （ Qiandao Lake） 、 良 渚 文 化 （ Liangzhu Culture） 、 宁 波 舟 山 港
（Ningbo-Zhoushan Port）。
跨文化知识：国际环保协议（如《巴黎协定》）、科技伦理案例（如自动驾驶责任归属）。
总结：2025 年浙江中考议论文将更注重本土议题深度分析与逻辑思辨能力，考生需通过“结
构拆解+语境推理”双轨突破，强化高频考点（主旨归纳、态度推断）及复合题型应对。建议
结合真题限时训练、文化词汇积累及逻辑链专项训练，全面提升议论文解题能力。
【基础试题】
A
Mike is a middle school student. He used to work hard at all his lessons. He usually got up
earliest and went to bed latest of the family. He hardly ever did outdoor activities. His parents
worried about his health. They asked him to get relaxed by watching TV or playing sports, but he
wouldn’t follow them. Finally, one day he fell ill and had to stay in hospital for several weeks.
Now Mike is in poor health. Though he goes to school every day, he doesn’t do so well in his
studies as before.
From Mike’s story, we can see that health is very important. If you become sick, you may
not go on with your education, and then you can’t make your dreams come true. On the other
hand, if you are strong, you can enjoy yourselves to do everything well.
In a word, we should, on the one hand, work hard, and on the other hand, pay much
attention to our health.

When you finish some chores at home, will your parents give you a reward(奖励) It is
common for parents to do that. But some people do not think it is a good idea.
One of them is Susie Walton, an education expert. She believes if kids get rewards, they
will think that housework is not worth doing unless they get something in return. Kids won’t
sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will if their parents reward them for it. Walton also
says, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all
should play our part in keeping our home clean.”
Other people don’t think so. They believe that rewards encourage kids to do more chores.
Rewarding them also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn that they need to work to
make money. Now, there are also mobile phone apps like ChoreMonster. With the app, kids get
points after doing chores. After getting some points, they can do something they like. For
example, parents will allow them to play video games for half an hour if they get 80 points.
So each side seems to have their own reasons. Whether you give children rewards depends
on your own ideas. Maybe you have better ways to solve this problem.
1．Which of the following is Susie Walton’s opinion
A．Don’t ask kids to do housework. B．Don’t give kids rewards for doing chores.
C．Don’t allow kids to play computer games.D．Don’t let children play a part in doing chores.
2．What do people want to teach kids by giving kids rewards for doing chores
A．People need to work to make money.
B．Doing chores is a good way to make money.
C．They can only be allowed to watch TV by doing chores.
D．They must share housework because they live in the same house.
3．Which idea may the writer agree with
A．Parents should give rewards to let their kids do chores.
B．Kids should offer to help with chores at home.
C．Apps are better choices for parents than money.
D．We don’t know what’s the best way to get kids helping.
【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D
【难度】0.85
【知识点】劳动实践、议论文
【导语】本文从正反两方面讨论了孩子帮忙做家务是否应获得奖励。
1．推理判断题。根据第二段“She believes if kids get rewards, they will think that housework is
not worth doing unless they get something in return”Susie Walton 认为如果孩子们做家务给奖
励，他们就不会主动做家务，除非获得回报，Susie Walton 的观点是孩子做家务不要给奖励。
故选 B。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段“They can learn that they need to work to make money”可知，人们
想通过孩子做家务给奖励来教孩子——需要工作赚钱。故选 A。
3．观点态度题。根据最后一段“So each side seems to have their own reasons. Whether you give
children rewards depends on your own ideas. Maybe you have better ways to solve this problem.”
可知孩子做家务是否给奖励取决于自己的想法，由此推出我们不知道让孩子帮忙的最佳方式
是什么。故选 D。
C
The average American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the
average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most
parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s,
my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they
therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many
new ridiculous（荒谬的）sayings have appeared:
TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programs when they are
pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve
difficult problems than other children.
TV makes kids violent .The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that
watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive（好斗的）. But a study of over 5,000
children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are
increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.
Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when
children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time
does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking. A widespread habit for kids,
and junk-food advertisements.
TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the
more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is
part of the problem, not the solution.
1．Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs
A．They will make children solve difficult problems better than others.
B．They will improve children's ability to get along with others.
C．They are likely to make children more aggressive.
D．They will make sure of children's success in the future.
2．What influence does watching TV have on a child’s sleep
A．Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.
B．Children's sleep time will be greatly reduced.
C．It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping.
D．Children will go to sleep more easily.
3．What is the purpose of this text
A．To increase people’s knowledge of watching TV.
B．To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV.
C．To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children.
D．To correct parents’ wrong ideas of television's effect on children.
【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D
【难度】0.85
【知识点】青少年问题、电视与电台、议论文、主旨大意、推理判断
【分析】本文讲述了一些父母都开始担心许多新荒谬的说法，如电视让孩子变笨，变得暴力，
变得肥胖以及可以帮助孩子入睡。文章讲了人们对于电视对孩子影响的误解，并做出了解释
说明，也就是纠正父母关于电视对孩子影响的错误观念。
1．推理判断题。根据第二段“When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better
ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.”可知当他们长大后，他们可以读更多的书，
比其他孩子有更好的想法来解决困难的问题，可推测出它们会让孩子们比其他人更好地解决
难题，故选 A。
2．推理判断题。根据“The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have
irregular sleep and nap patterns. ”可知孩子看电视的时间越长，他们就越有可能有不规律的睡
眠和午睡模式，可推测出它会使孩子们养成不好的睡觉习惯，故选 C。
3．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要罗列出人们对于电视对孩子影响的误解，并做出
了解释说明，所以是纠正父母关于电视对孩子影响的错误观念。故选 D。

According to the finding of a new UN report, the world wastes about one-sixth of the food
each year. That’s about 1,030,000,000 tons, or 121 kilograms for each person on the Earth.
61% of the food waste is from home cooking. Food services, such as restaurants, produce
26％and groceries (食品杂货店) and other stores 13%. “We thought waste was a problem in rich
countries,” says Martina Otto, who works for the UN Environment Program. “However, the new
report finds, food waste is a big problem in nations rich and poor.”
Each year, some 690,000,000 people go hungry. At the same time, about 10% of all CO2
on the Earth is from the activities that produce the food waste. Control on food waste can help
deal with hunger and cut down that pollution. It is helpful to both people and the planet. By
avoiding wasting food, we can save money and time. More importantly, we can help protect the
Earth’s most valuable resources (资源).
Then what can we do to stop food waste Small actions make a difference. Each of us can
play a part. Next time, before you throw, think twice!
1．Which is TRUE according to the passage
A．The most food waste comes from home cooking.
B．Food waste is a problem only in rich countries.
C．People can hardly save money and time by avoiding wasting food.
D．Only governments should take action to stop food waste.
2．What is the third paragraph mainly about
A．How we can protect the Earth. B．Where we shall find resources.
C．Why we should avoid food waste. D．What we will do with pollution.
3．The text is written to ________.
A．collect money B．call for action C．get some advice D．express thanks

Reading makes one wise, but many adults seldom read. They say they are too busy to have
time to read. Sure. They have work to do. They have families to support. But these are only
excuses. The fact is that they haven’t got a reading habit. A reading habit isn’t something natural.
It needs to be trained. And it’s never too late to develop a reading habit.
Scientists believe proper books are very important for children to develop a good reading
habit. A book in rich colors and with simple patterns(图案) such as lines and circles is a good
choice for babies of three months old. When they reach six months, they will become interested in
simple story books in rich colors.
When children get old enough to read by themselves, it’s necessary to buy books that are
both interesting and right for them to understand. Books which are either too easy or too difficult
are not good for kids to keep their reading habits.
Only buying books for children isn’t enough. For kids, parents are their first teachers. So
parents should read books to set an example. Children will follow them. Scientists say imitating
the adults is a born skill. And it is the most valuable way for children to learn. This will certainly
help them develop a reading habit in the end.
1．According to the writer, many adults seldom read because they________.
A．don’t have enough time B．have to work all the time
C．haven’t got a reading habit D．have to support the family
2．The underlined word “imitating” here probably means________.
A．copying B．reading C．testing D．missing
3．We can learn from the passage that .
A．story books are better than books in colors
B．a reading habit comes from certain training
C．a three-month-old kid likes simple stories
D．too easy books help keep a reading habit

Are you tired of making so many decisions every day People may be faced with up to
35,000 choices and a huge number of options (可选择的事物) per day. When tired of decision
making, people may depend on fate (命运)—roll a dice or simply flip a coin.
Shall we make choices at random ( 随 机 ) I came to think about the benefits of random
decision making when watching a TV show last night. Its main character Sheldon used the dice to
randomly order food and drinks in a restaurant. He did this to free up his mind to consider some
more important problems. However, his friends question the method’s success. Indeed, this
random restaurant order including a large drink was too much for him. Sheldon finally realized
that the random result could be improved by reducing options to leave out large drinks. This
example suggests that random decision making may not always work well and it’s necessary to
reduce the options before rolling a dice in some situations.
In some unimportant decision situations, randomisers make it easier to decide. But how do
dice work in more important decision situations It’s hard to accept the idea of completely
depending on a dice. However, this doesn’t mean that dice or coins can’t be of any help at all.
Let me borrow another example from Sheldon. He couldn’t make up his mind when
choosing a new TV set from two. His friend Amy asked him to flip a coin. Rather than blindly
following the result, however, she suggested checking his emotional reaction. Did he experience
happiness or disappointment when faced with the coin’s result Sheldon’s reaction could be useful
to find out which one he truly preferred.
Recently, scientists studied this decision method and found that flipping a coin led people
to imagine the two different results more clearly, which resulted in a stronger emotional reaction,
and then they recognised hidden preferences and made decisions more easily.
A related study further proved that randomisers simplify the choice process. When using
dice, people were less likely to look for additional but unnecessary information about the different
options. This helped to speed up their choices.
Taken together, recent research shows surprising benefits of flipping coins and rolling dice
as long as people don’t let the results control their choices. Using them but keeping the freedom to
be different from the results can speed up the decision process and help solve decision problems.
1．The first example of Sheldon shows that random decision making .
A．is always effective
B．helps make a good order
C．may work better with fewer options
D．can offer more solutions to important problems
2．The writer probably agrees that .
A．people should not roll dice or flip coins in important situations
B．people will make better choices when experiencing happiness
C．dice can speed up decision process with unnecessary information
D．reaction to the result of the randomiser may show one’s true preference
3．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．Follow Your Heart or Your Head
B．Should You Let the Dice Decide
C．Listen to Friends, or Roll a Dice
D．How Do You Make a Wise Decision
【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B
【难度】0.4
【知识点】方法/策略、议论文、推理判断、最佳标题
【分析】本文讨论了通过掷骰子或者投硬币的方式来随机做决定的利与弊。
1．推理判断题。根据“This example suggests that random decision making may not always work
well and it’s necessary to reduce the options before rolling a dice in some situations.”可知，第一
个关于谢尔顿的例子表明，在选择较少的情况下，随机决策可能更有效，故选 C。
2．推理判断题。根据“Recently, scientists studied this decision method and found that flipping a
coin led people to imagine the two different results more clearly, which resulted in a stronger
emotional reaction, and then they recognised hidden preferences and made decisions more easily.”
可知，作者可能同意随机者对结果的反应可以显示一个人真正的偏好，故选 D。
3．标题归纳题。根据“When tired of decision making, people may depend on fate (命运)—roll a
dice or simply flip a coin.”和“Shall we make choices at random ( 随 机 ) ”可知，本文主要介绍
了我们是否应该通过掷骰子来随机做决定。故选 B。

Best Friends
Men and women share the exact same view of a best friend—a person who is always there
for you. A best friend is someone you can depend on to share your happiness, suffer through your
worries, or lessen your sorrow (悲伤). As one man put it, “To me, a best friend is somebody who
you call if you’re on the road and get a flat tire (爆胎) at 3:00 a. m. and you’ve been told it’s four
hours until a tow truck (拖车) can be sent. Your friend says, ‘Tell me exactly where you are, and I’
ll come and get you.’”
Different things lead to the birth of a best friendship—the age and situations in which
people meet, what first attracts them, why they remain close, and how they fill each other’s needs.
Yet I find the most important points that explain the meaning of a best friend are remarkably (显著
地) similar across most experiences. Safety is a word I heard over and over. A best friend makes
you feel safe, protected and comfortable. You never have to explain yourself to best friends
because they really, really know who you are. With best friends, you can be who you are. You can
cry too hard or laugh too loud and never worry what they’ll think of you because best friends are
nonjudgmental (客观的). They will give you advice if you want ideas and give you a kick in the
pants if you need encouragement, but best friends will not judge you or make you feel ashamed of
your behaviors. A best friend gives you what you expect from a parent and doesn’t always get:
unconditional love.
Best friends are loyal (忠诚的) and trustworthy. A best friend is a person to whom you can
tell your most shameful, truthful and harmful personal secrets with the full confidence they will
never be repeated. Best friends can deliver brutally (冷酷无情地) honest answers in the most
gentle way.
Finally, best friends are the family you choose. They love you because they want to, not
because they have to. And for many people, a best friend becomes the brother or sister they’d
always wanted, but never had.
A man I knew asked his dying mother, “What has been the most important thing in your
life ” He fully expected her to say her husband, her children or her family. Instead, without a
moment’s hesitation (犹豫), she replied sweetly, “My friends.”
1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Best friends share similar interests.
B．Best friends don’t argue with each other.
C．Best friends have to help because they are a family.
D．Best friends keep each other’s secrets no matter what happens.
2．What’s the meaning of the underlined words “give you a kick in the pants” in Paragraph 2
A．Pushing you to achieve your goal.
B．Making you feel sorry about them.
C．Forcing you to make a right decision.
D．Expecting unconditional love from you.
3．What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage
A．What kinds of friendship we have.
B．What characters a best friend has.
C．Why we should have a best friend.
D．How a best friend helps us out of trouble.

will not judge you or make you feel ashamed of your behaviors（但最好的朋友不会评判你，也
不会让你为自己的行为感到羞耻）可知此句 give you a kick in the pants if you need
encouragement 句意是：如果你需要鼓励，他们会给你鼓励。根据句意可知“give you a kick
in the pants”意思是“鼓励”；故选 A。

了最好的友谊的诞生：人们相遇的年龄和环境，最初吸引他们的是什么，他们为什么保持亲
密，以及他们如何满足彼此的需要。（3）最好的朋友是忠诚和值得信赖的。（4） 最好的
朋友就是你选择的亲人。可知作者在文章中主要告诉我们拥有什么样的友谊。故选 B。

Bringing a giraffe into the world is a tall order. A baby giraffe is born 10 feet high and
usually lands on its back. Within seconds it rolls over its legs under its body. Then the mother
giraffe rudely introduces its children to the reality of life.
In his book, A View from the Zoo, Gary Richmond describes how a new-born giraffe learns
its first lesson.
The mother giraffe lowers her head long enough to take a quick look. Then she puts herself
directly over her child. She waits for about a minute, and then she does the most unreasonable
thing. She throws her long leg and kicks her baby, so that it’s sent sprawling(四脚朝天).
When it doesn’t get up, the process is repeated again and again. The struggle to rise is
important. As the baby giraffe grows tired, the mother kicks it again. Finally, it stands for the first
time on its shaky legs. Then the mother giraffe kicks it off its feet again. Why She wants it to
remember how it got up. In the wild, a baby giraffe must be able to get up as quickly as possible to
stay with its group, where there’s safety.
Another writer named Irving Stone understood this. He spent a lifetime studying greatness,
writing stories about such men as Michelangelo, Vincent van Gogh, Sigmund Freud, and Charles
Darwin.
Stone was once asked if he had found something that runs through the lives of all these great
people. He said, “I write about people who sometime in their life have a dream of something.
They’re beaten over the head, knocked down and for years they get nowhere. But every time they
stand up again. And at the end of their lives they’ve realized some small parts of what they set out
to do .”

生拔高重难题型特训
【预测分析】
一、重难点分析
1、复杂论证结构与逻辑分析
难点：议论文常采用总分式、层进式或驳论法，需识别论点（首段/尾段）、论据（数据/案
例）及论证方式（因果/对比）。例如，段落间可能通过“however”“therefore”等逻辑词衔接，
需理清逻辑链。
高频陷阱：选项偷换概念（如将“reduce waste”改为“eliminate waste”）或过度推断（如将作
者态度“critical”误判为“opposed”）。
2、学术词汇与长难句理解
难点：高频学术词（如“carbon neutrality”“AI ethics”）及含定语从句、状语从句的复合句（如
“Although renewable energy is promoted, its implementation faces challenges”）需拆解主干。
干扰设计：选项利用词形相似词（如“affect/effect”）或反义替换制造混淆。
3、隐含观点与态度推断
难点：作者态度常通过情感词（如“remarkably beneficial”）或反问句（如“Is it ethical to...”）
间接表达，需结合论据反向推导。
文化背景：涉及中西文化对比（如环保政策差异）或社会热点（如碳中和），需积累相关术
语。
4、浙江本土化命题趋势
热点话题：可能结合浙江生态（如西湖保护）、科技（如杭州 AI 应用）或社会议题（如“千
万工程”乡村振兴），需掌握地域特色词汇（如“Zhejiang’s green transition”）。
二、解题步骤与技巧
1、速读定位主旨与结构
标题与首尾段：标题常直接点明论点（如“Why Zhejiang Embraces Green Energy”），首段提
出问题，尾段总结观点。
段落首句分析法：80%的段落首句为主题句，标注后串联逻辑链（如“论点 A→数据 B→结
论 C”）。
2、细节题精准定位
题干关键词法：专有名词（如“UN report”）、数字（如“30% reduction”）直接定位原文，避
免主观联想。
同义替换识别：选项可能改写原文（如“significant impact”→“profound effect”），需逐词比
对。
3、推理判断题逻辑链构建
因果链分析：关注“due to”“as a result”等词，理清论据与结论关系（如“数据 A→现象 B→作
者观点 C”）。
反推法：若原文反对某政策，选项可能反向表述为“criticize its implementation”。
4、词义猜测与干扰排除
上下文线索：如“sustainable development”后接“reducing waste”，可推测“sustainable”为“环保
的”。
绝对词排除：含“all”“never”的选项多为错误，议论文强调辩证性。
三、2025 年考向预测
1、命题趋势升级
本土化议题主导：
生态保护：如“千岛湖生态修复工程”“垃圾分类政策”，需掌握术语（如“ecological balance”
“zero-waste community”）。
科技创新：如“杭州亚运会智能场馆”“AI在农业中的应用”，需理解功能描述（如“automatically
adjust temperature”）。
多模态文本：可能结合图表（如浙江碳排放数据）与议论文，要求分析数据并论证观点。
2、高频题型分布
主旨归纳题（30%）：抓首尾段主题句或高频词（如“sustainability”“innovation”）。
推理判断题（40%）：隐含观点（如作者对“直播带货”的态度）、逻辑链推导。
词义猜测题（15%）：结合上下文推测学术词（如“cognitive development”）。
开放态度题（15%）：评价作者立场（如“是否支持在线教育”）。
3、热点话题预测
环保与可持续发展：如“浙江新能源推广”“塑料污染治理”，需匹配措施与效果（如“reduce
carbon emissions by 30%”）。
科技伦理：如“AI 在医疗诊断中的应用”，需分析利弊（如“提高效率但存在数据隐私风险”）。
文化传承：如“杭州丝绸文化的现代创新”，需结合传统与现代元素（如“digital printing
techniques”）。

【基础试题】
A
Mike is a middle school student. He used to work hard at all his lessons. He usually got up
earliest and went to bed latest of the family. He hardly ever did outdoor activities. His parents
worried about his health. They asked him to get relaxed by watching TV or playing sports, but he
wouldn’t follow them. Finally, one day he fell ill and had to stay in hospital for several weeks.
Now Mike is in poor health. Though he goes to school every day, he doesn’t do so well in his
studies as before.
From Mike’s story, we can see that health is very important. If you become sick, you may
not go on with your education, and then you can’t make your dreams come true. On the other
hand, if you are strong, you can enjoy yourselves to do everything well.
In a word, we should, on the one hand, work hard, and on the other hand, pay much
attention to our health.
1．Mike used to be ________ according to the passage.
A．shy B．hard-working C．outgoing D．humorous
2．From the passage, we can learn that Mike ________ now.
A．isn’t in good health B．has to stay at home
C．has to stay in hospital D．does as well in his studies as before
3．What can we learn from the passage
A．Mike hasn’t changed a lot.
B．Mike used to be a bad student.
C．Health is important to everyone.
D．We should spend all our free time on our studies.
B
When you finish some chores at home, will your parents give you a reward(奖励) It is
common for parents to do that. But some people do not think it is a good idea.
One of them is Susie Walton, an education expert. She believes if kids get rewards, they
will think that housework is not worth doing unless they get something in return. Kids won’t
sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will if their parents reward them for it. Walton also
says, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all
should play our part in keeping our home clean.”
Other people don’t think so. They believe that rewards encourage kids to do more chores.
Rewarding them also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn that they need to work to
make money. Now, there are also mobile phone apps like ChoreMonster. With the app, kids get
points after doing chores. After getting some points, they can do something they like. For
example, parents will allow them to play video games for half an hour if they get 80 points.
So each side seems to have their own reasons. Whether you give children rewards depends
on your own ideas. Maybe you have better ways to solve this problem.
1．Which of the following is Susie Walton’s opinion
A．Don’t ask kids to do housework. B．Don’t give kids rewards for doing chores.
C．Don’t allow kids to play computer games.D．Don’t let children play a part in doing chores.
2．What do people want to teach kids by giving kids rewards for doing chores
A．People need to work to make money.
B．Doing chores is a good way to make money.
C．They can only be allowed to watch TV by doing chores.
D．They must share housework because they live in the same house.
3．Which idea may the writer agree with
A．Parents should give rewards to let their kids do chores.
B．Kids should offer to help with chores at home.
C．Apps are better choices for parents than money.
D．We don’t know what’s the best way to get kids helping.

The average American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the
average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most
parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s,
my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they
therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many
new ridiculous（荒谬的）sayings have appeared:
TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programs when they are
pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve
difficult problems than other children.
TV makes kids violent .The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that
watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive（好斗的）. But a study of over 5,000
children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are
increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.
Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when
children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time
does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking. A widespread habit for kids,
and junk-food advertisements.
TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the
more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is
part of the problem, not the solution.
1．Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs
A．They will make children solve difficult problems better than others.
B．They will improve children's ability to get along with others.
C．They are likely to make children more aggressive.
D．They will make sure of children's success in the future.
2．What influence does watching TV have on a child’s sleep
A．Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.
B．Children's sleep time will be greatly reduced.
C．It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping.
D．Children will go to sleep more easily.
3．What is the purpose of this text
A．To increase people’s knowledge of watching TV.
B．To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV.
C．To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children.
D．To correct parents’ wrong ideas of television's effect on children.

According to the finding of a new UN report, the world wastes about one-sixth of the food
each year. That’s about 1,030,000,000 tons, or 121 kilograms for each person on the Earth.
61% of the food waste is from home cooking. Food services, such as restaurants, produce
26％and groceries (食品杂货店) and other stores 13%. “We thought waste was a problem in rich
countries,” says Martina Otto, who works for the UN Environment Program. “However, the new
report finds, food waste is a big problem in nations rich and poor.”
Each year, some 690,000,000 people go hungry. At the same time, about 10% of all CO2
on the Earth is from the activities that produce the food waste. Control on food waste can help
deal with hunger and cut down that pollution. It is helpful to both people and the planet. By
avoiding wasting food, we can save money and time. More importantly, we can help protect the
Earth’s most valuable resources (资源).
Then what can we do to stop food waste Small actions make a difference. Each of us can
play a part. Next time, before you throw, think twice!
1．Which is TRUE according to the passage
A．The most food waste comes from home cooking.
B．Food waste is a problem only in rich countries.
C．People can hardly save money and time by avoiding wasting food.
D．Only governments should take action to stop food waste.
2．What is the third paragraph mainly about
A．How we can protect the Earth. B．Where we shall find resources.
C．Why we should avoid food waste. D．What we will do with pollution.
3．The text is written to ________.
A．collect money B．call for action C．get some advice D．express thanks

Reading makes one wise, but many adults seldom read. They say they are too busy to have
time to read. Sure. They have work to do. They have families to support. But these are only
excuses. The fact is that they haven’t got a reading habit. A reading habit isn’t something natural.
It needs to be trained. And it’s never too late to develop a reading habit.
Scientists believe proper books are very important for children to develop a good reading
habit. A book in rich colors and with simple patterns(图案) such as lines and circles is a good
choice for babies of three months old. When they reach six months, they will become interested in
simple story books in rich colors.
When children get old enough to read by themselves, it’s necessary to buy books that are
both interesting and right for them to understand. Books which are either too easy or too difficult
are not good for kids to keep their reading habits.
Only buying books for children isn’t enough. For kids, parents are their first teachers. So
parents should read books to set an example. Children will follow them. Scientists say imitating
the adults is a born skill. And it is the most valuable way for children to learn. This will certainly
help them develop a reading habit in the end.
1．According to the writer, many adults seldom read because they________.
A．don’t have enough time B．have to work all the time
C．haven’t got a reading habit D．have to support the family
2．The underlined word “imitating” here probably means________.
A．copying B．reading C．testing D．missing
3．We can learn from the passage that .
A．story books are better than books in colors
B．a reading habit comes from certain training
C．a three-month-old kid likes simple stories
D．too easy books help keep a reading habit

Every child has his own dream．Every child hopes to be an adult．However, is it truly like
what they imagine As a boy who lives in modern times and in a modern city，I feel greater
pressure on me with the city’s development．Although we seldom worry about money, we still
have a lot of others such as competitions among classmates and expectations from parents．
These experiences are very helpful to our future．But in fact，they really give me a lot of
pressure．I still clearly remembered the happiness of my childhood．Unluckily，we had to face the
fact with time passing by．We began to feel this invisible(无形的)pressure come upon us．We get
up before sunrise and return after sunset．we work and study like an adult，even harder．
What we do is to get an excellent mark．Oh，growing up is completely boring．We must
try to find happiness while growing up．I think the friendship among our friends，the support from
our parents and the encouragement from our teachers can help us．Why not enjoy the pleasure of
growing up and its delicious taste

Are you tired of making so many decisions every day People may be faced with up to
35,000 choices and a huge number of options (可选择的事物) per day. When tired of decision
making, people may depend on fate (命运)—roll a dice or simply flip a coin.
Shall we make choices at random ( 随 机 ) I came to think about the benefits of random
decision making when watching a TV show last night. Its main character Sheldon used the dice to
randomly order food and drinks in a restaurant. He did this to free up his mind to consider some
more important problems. However, his friends question the method’s success. Indeed, this
random restaurant order including a large drink was too much for him. Sheldon finally realized
that the random result could be improved by reducing options to leave out large drinks. This
example suggests that random decision making may not always work well and it’s necessary to
reduce the options before rolling a dice in some situations.
In some unimportant decision situations, randomisers make it easier to decide. But how do
dice work in more important decision situations It’s hard to accept the idea of completely
depending on a dice. However, this doesn’t mean that dice or coins can’t be of any help at all.
Let me borrow another example from Sheldon. He couldn’t make up his mind when
choosing a new TV set from two. His friend Amy asked him to flip a coin. Rather than blindly
following the result, however, she suggested checking his emotional reaction. Did he experience
happiness or disappointment when faced with the coin’s result Sheldon’s reaction could be useful
to find out which one he truly preferred.
Recently, scientists studied this decision method and found that flipping a coin led people
to imagine the two different results more clearly, which resulted in a stronger emotional reaction,
and then they recognised hidden preferences and made decisions more easily.
A related study further proved that randomisers simplify the choice process. When using
dice, people were less likely to look for additional but unnecessary information about the different
options. This helped to speed up their choices.
Taken together, recent research shows surprising benefits of flipping coins and rolling dice
as long as people don’t let the results control their choices. Using them but keeping the freedom to
be different from the results can speed up the decision process and help solve decision problems.
1．The first example of Sheldon shows that random decision making .
A．is always effective
B．helps make a good order
C．may work better with fewer options
D．can offer more solutions to important problems
2．The writer probably agrees that .
A．people should not roll dice or flip coins in important situations
B．people will make better choices when experiencing happiness
C．dice can speed up decision process with unnecessary information
D．reaction to the result of the randomiser may show one’s true preference
3．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．Follow Your Heart or Your Head
B．Should You Let the Dice Decide
C．Listen to Friends, or Roll a Dice
D．How Do You Make a Wise Decision
B
Best Friends
Men and women share the exact same view of a best friend—a person who is always there
for you. A best friend is someone you can depend on to share your happiness, suffer through your
worries, or lessen your sorrow (悲伤). As one man put it, “To me, a best friend is somebody who
you call if you’re on the road and get a flat tire (爆胎) at 3:00 a. m. and you’ve been told it’s four
hours until a tow truck (拖车) can be sent. Your friend says, ‘Tell me exactly where you are, and I’
ll come and get you.’”
Different things lead to the birth of a best friendship—the age and situations in which
people meet, what first attracts them, why they remain close, and how they fill each other’s needs.
Yet I find the most important points that explain the meaning of a best friend are remarkably (显著
地) similar across most experiences. Safety is a word I heard over and over. A best friend makes
you feel safe, protected and comfortable. You never have to explain yourself to best friends
because they really, really know who you are. With best friends, you can be who you are. You can
cry too hard or laugh too loud and never worry what they’ll think of you because best friends are
nonjudgmental (客观的). They will give you advice if you want ideas and give you a kick in the
pants if you need encouragement, but best friends will not judge you or make you feel ashamed of
your behaviors. A best friend gives you what you expect from a parent and doesn’t always get:
unconditional love.
Best friends are loyal (忠诚的) and trustworthy. A best friend is a person to whom you can
tell your most shameful, truthful and harmful personal secrets with the full confidence they will
never be repeated. Best friends can deliver brutally (冷酷无情地) honest answers in the most
gentle way.
Finally, best friends are the family you choose. They love you because they want to, not
because they have to. And for many people, a best friend becomes the brother or sister they’d
always wanted, but never had.
A man I knew asked his dying mother, “What has been the most important thing in your
life ” He fully expected her to say her husband, her children or her family. Instead, without a
moment’s hesitation (犹豫), she replied sweetly, “My friends.”
1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Best friends share similar interests.
B．Best friends don’t argue with each other.
C．Best friends have to help because they are a family.
D．Best friends keep each other’s secrets no matter what happens.
2．What’s the meaning of the underlined words “give you a kick in the pants” in Paragraph 2
A．Pushing you to achieve your goal.
B．Making you feel sorry about them.
C．Forcing you to make a right decision.
D．Expecting unconditional love from you.
3．What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage
A．What kinds of friendship we have.
B．What characters a best friend has.
C．Why we should have a best friend.
D．How a best friend helps us out of trouble.
